Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

After drinking this bowl of medicine, Concubine Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She glared at the Fifth and Ninth Concubines who were pretending to be deaf and dumb. She really couldn't be relied on at all. She was about to be bullied to death by the Queen, and these two daughters-in-law were still standing there like wooden sticks.

Yixiu had a gentle smile on her face. "Does the Concubine feel better after taking the medicine? I see that Hongsheng and Hongzheng are doing things in a proper manner. From now on, why not let the two younger siblings bring the children to serve the Concubine every day to take medicine, so that they can accompany the Concubine more."

After today's incident, Concubine Yi had suffered enough. If he came three times a day, he would probably take half of her life away. But Concubine Yi couldn't refuse. The Qing Dynasty ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety, and the royal family also respected filial piety the most. For the sake of her children's reputation, Concubine Yi couldn't refuse.

Now Concubine Yi has only one way to go, that is, to move to the palace after she recovers from her illness. She will not need her descendants to fulfill their filial duties, and naturally there will be no dilemma.

Concubine Yi figured it all out and looked at Concubine Yi Xiu with fear in her eyes.

Yi Xiu noticed Concubine Yi's gaze, turned her head slightly, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Concubine Dowager? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Concubine Yi tried to calm down and said, "I feel much better now. Let the Fifth and Ninth wives take the children to the front. If we leave for a long time, it will also cause criticism."

Yixiu did not force them to leave. "That's right. Fifth and ninth sisters-in-law, take the children back! I will talk to the concubine for a while."

The Ninth Lady followed the Fifth Lady out of the Yikun Palace in a daze. She thought that the Queen would torture them in order to force Concubine Yi to move to another palace! In the end, they left so easily?

The Fifth Lady noticed the Ninth Lady's bewilderment and said with a sigh, "Our Queen is an upright person." She never implicates innocent people and only targets enemies. It's just that she married the wrong person and was put on the side that couldn't get close to the Queen.

The Fifth Lady's words made the Ninth Lady even more confused. Huh? Honest and aboveboard? Why couldn't she understand what the Fifth Lady said?

The Fifth Lady was also helpless and could only advise, "Go back home today and tell this to your ninth brother, and he will naturally know what the situation is." This was the only thing she could do as a sister-in-law. Her ninth brother had suffered much more than her father in the previous dynasty, and she didn't know how long she could continue to interact with this confused brother's wife.

The Ninth Lady nodded obediently. The sisters-in-law sent the child to the place where the men were mourning, and returned to the group of women.

Back in Yiku Palace, only Concubine Yi and Yi Xiu were left in Concubine Yi's bedroom, one standing there.

Although Yixiu was standing, she did not seem cramped. She leisurely looked at the layout of the Yikun Palace and praised, "The Concubine Dowager is indeed deeply loved by the Emperor. Every blade of grass and every tree in the Yikun Palace is extremely precious."

Concubine Yi was not fooled by Yixiu's words. She had seen Concubine De say this countless times, "It can't compare to the Empress' Kunning Palace, the main residence, which is envied by everyone."

What Concubine Yi said can be understood as everyone envies the exquisite Kunning Palace where Concubine Yixiu lives, or it can be understood as the women in the harem are all eyeing Concubine Yixiu's throne as queen, hoping to replace her.

Yixiu was not polite either, "What the Concubine said is indeed true, but what's the use of envy? When the late emperor was alive, only Empress Xiaochengren and Empress Xiaozhaoren were qualified to live in Kunning Palace."

Does not living in Kunning Palace mean that you don't want to live there? It's because you can't live there. Combined with Yixiu's previous praise of Yikun Palace, it seems like she is mocking Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi was touched in the heart. Although she was favored, Kangxi's favor had a bottom line. Fine clothes were allowed, but position and power were not. Even though Kangxi liked Concubine Yi very much at the beginning, Concubine Yi could only remain a concubine and was not allowed to be promoted one step.

"The Empress is truly majestic!" Concubine Yi said sarcastically.

Yixiu was not angry, but just smiled faintly, "Then the Concubine Dowager has wrongly blamed me. I asked my fifth brother's sister-in-law and Hongsheng and Hongzheng to come here today, not to force the Concubine Dowager, but to consider her!"

Concubine Yi sneered, "Your Majesty is honorable, so whatever you say is reasonable."

Yi Xiu sighed, "Ninth brother's temper is indeed like the Concubine Dowager, both are equally strong-willed and cannot tolerate the slightest grievance. However, I have a gentle personality and do not feel offended by the Concubine Dowager, but Ninth brother is in the previous dynasty, and I don't know if the Emperor can be as lenient as I am. After all, the Emperor is the Son of Heaven, and even if the Emperor is lenient, the court officials will not allow anyone to slander the Emperor."

It's no exaggeration to say that the Ninth Prince is the apple of Concubine Yi's eye. She looked at Yi Xiu expressionlessly, "Are you threatening me, Queen?"

Yixiu played with the tea lid in her hand, "I'm just reminding the Concubine Dowager. Otherwise, if she hears the news of my ninth brother's death one day, the Concubine Dowager won't know where to collect his body. Wouldn't that be a tragedy?"

Concubine Yi broke the armor on her hand to keep herself from losing her composure. "If something happened to Old Nine, it must be the Emperor's fault for framing my son. You and the Emperor are one, aren't you afraid that the eternal infamy will fall on you two?"

Yixiu put the teacup back and said nonchalantly, "Isn't Emperor Taizong of Tang also an emperor who will be praised by the world for all eternity? It can be seen that as long as the emperor is a wise and virtuous monarch, the private affairs of the royal family will not affect the people's evaluation of the emperor."

Inside, Liu Youyou sincerely apologized to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, saying, "I'm so sorry for dragging you into this conversation and lowering your tone. I'm so sorry."

Concubine Yi laughed loudly, "The greatest emperor of all time? The greatest emperor of all time? Is the fourth son worthy of this?"

Yi Xiu asked in return, "Now that there are good breeds to feed the people, good generals to recover the territory, wool to make yarn, and all the four directions to submit, even if the emperor does nothing, he is enough to be called a sage monarch."

Yongzheng was still planning to make a big move and planned to implement the land tax system. Reform was always better than no change. What's more, Yixiu still had a trump card in her hand for her own development!

These topics have gone too far, so Yixiu returned to the main topic, "If the ninth brother was purged by the emperor just because of his evil intentions, who would speak up for him except the concubine? It's just a pity for the concubine. She has two sons, but she can only see one."

Concubine Yi's lips trembled. She really regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would never let the ninth prince follow the eighth prince. Now that the disaster was imminent, she could only let herself be slaughtered.

Yixiu said the final blow lightly, "If I were the concubine, I should be well behaved in the harem. Fortunately, what happened today has not yet reached the ears of the emperor. Otherwise, what do you think, will the emperor come to punish the concubine directly? Or will he put all the sins on my ninth brother?"

For Yongzheng, why should he choose between the two? Why can't I reprimand Concubine Yi and vent my anger on Lao Jiu? Only children make choices, adults of course want both!
